(((Cindy Weinstein)))<p>A HS student emailed me out of the blue to do an interview as part of her capstone project on <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Alzheimer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alzheimer</span></a>'s. I spoke w/her about <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/brain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brain</span></a> science & <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/caregiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>caregiving</span></a>. She's 18, her family has the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/APOE4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APOE4</span></a> gene - a risk factor for the disease - & she will study neuroscience to find a cure for Alzheimer's. She's smart, determined, & I had chills listening to her story and her passion. The senseless, fascistic <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NIH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NIH</span></a> cuts are imperiling the potential, the future of people like her, & our own.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/EndAlz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndAlz</span></a> <br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a></p>
